speed = v
\n" ); document.write( "cv*time=tv+30 miles
\n" ); document.write( "cv=50 and tv=35
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "50*time=35*time+30
\n" ); document.write( "15t=30
\n" ); document.write( "t=2
\n" ); document.write( "Hence, in 2 hours the car will be 30 miles ahead of the train.
